Fourteen centuries ago, Irish saints brought the Word of God to the Hebrides and Scotland’s Atlantic shore. These “white martyrs” sought solitude in remote places where they could move closer an understanding of God: places where they could see angels.

From Lismore to Applecross, Alastair Moffat travels in search of these elusive men.
